Yoshitsune Jujutsu Kai / Welcome Message

Welcome to the Yoshitsune Jujutsu Kai, a Japanese Martial Arts School
of Jujutsu, Aikijujutsu and Iaido. Training in the Japanese Martial
Arts is not a sport and it has no tournaments or competitions.

Japanese Jujutsu and Aikijujutsu are highly effective martial arts
used for self defense and character development. Training includes
physical conditioning, evasive movements, striking, throwing and
immobilizations using joint locks and other methods of restraint.

You will practice with a training partner and you will help each
other learn and improve, cultivating a supportive environment.

We also teach Japanese Iaido, a method of wielding the sword, one of the
Japanese Martial Arts which has been practiced from ancient times
until present day. The “i” in Iaido refers both to the existence of
the body and that of the spirit. The “ai” refers to adaptability,
the impromptu execution of movements whenever and wherever an
appropriate response is necessary. The "do" refers to the
path or way taken by its practitioners.

The practice of Iaido requires a calm spirit, extreme
concentration and skill. Every motion, such as the movements of
the arms or legs and body, must be perfectly coordinated.

Consistent practice in the Japanese Martial Arts improves your
physical conditioning, balance, flexibility and your mental state.
Your self-confidence, concentration, and alertness will improve and you
will build up positive energy that will make you more successful.

If you think that you may be interested in Jujutsu or Iaido, please
call me to schedule a free trial lesson or a school visit. I
would love to meet you and have the opportunity to introduce myself,
these arts and the school. No prior experience needed.

You'll learn authentic Japanese Jujutsu, a no-holds barred type
of self defense that includes physical
conditioning, evasive movements, striking, throwing and immobilizations
using joint locks and other methods of restraint.

You'll be learning the root style of modern Judo, Aikido and Brazilian
Jujutsu which still contains all of the highly effective
techniques, principles and tactics that modern Judo and Brazilian Jujutsu
removed in order to make them into competitive sports. These
techniques will provide you with a major advantage in any physical
confrontation.

You will learn vital points on the human body that can be used to
incapacitate or control an opponent.

Your instructors will be authentic, senior black belt teachers that are
licensed to teach by current Japanese Headmasters and they will
personally teach every one of your classes.

You will enjoy training in our school because it is a respectful
and safe place where egos are left at the door.

You will progress rapidly in your skill and rank by being taught the
core principles of Jujutsu and Iaido from the start of your training.

You will have the opportunity to train directly with the current
Headmasters of the Arts that we teach when they visit the USA or if you
decide to travel to Japan for a visit.

You will learn how to focus your mind, body, and spirit and it will help
you build up some positive energy to help make you more successful.

Your monthly dues will be affordable and you will never have to
deal with any type of contract.
